Fiat 500 Vintage ’57


The Fiat 500`s special edition, the Fiat 500 Vintage `57 unveiled some time ago at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, is ending up in our news again, this time with the gorgeous model being showcased through a new set of images.
The Fiat Vintage `57 highlighted here is wearing a special paintjob, the pastel blue finish, while the white paintjob on the roof, rear spoiler and side mirror caps, is beautifully contrasting the entire body.

The model is also coming with that special retro look, thanks to the 16-inch alloy wheel, which is actually a replica of the original `57 12-inch steel alloy wheels, used to fit the 500 1957 and 500 1075.

Inside, the cabin is also complementing the exterior thanks to the two-tone leather upholstery on the seats and white dashboard, continuing the retro lines from the exterior.

Under the hood, the Fiat 500 Vintage `57 is tweaking a 0.9-liter two-cylinder unit, which develops 105 horsepower, while the 1.2-liter four-cylinder provides around 70 horsepower. Finally, a 1.3-liter four-cylinder turbo diesel will also make its way, this one coming with 95 horsepower. Unfortunately, the Fiat Italian based has not received any pricing details.

2016 Mazda MX-5


Mazda MX-5 is looking great and it would have been a pity if the model had not made its way in the United States. But the good news is here, as the 2016 MX-5 will arrive overseas this summer, at the base price of $25,940.
The 2016 Mazda MX-5 will come in three trims, the Sport, the Club as well as the Gran Touring, each one tweaking a lot of interesting features and powertrain under the hood. Unfortunately, the detailed specifications list with the model is rather scarce at the moment.

But what we do know, is that the 2016 Mazda MX-5 will sport some great gizmos inside, meaning that you will get to see Bluetooth connectivity, USB, the gear knob now wrapped in leather, power door locks and a few more in the Sport trim.

More than that, since we are looking here at a lightweight model, the 2016 MX-5 will be more powerful than the previous one. Shedding off around 70 km, this would be perfect for the worthy performance of the 2.0-liter SKYACTIV unit, now churning out a good 155 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque. No performance figures or pricing details have been yet revealed, but we should find out more this summer, when the model will be available at the U.S. dealerships
